The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation has been overseeing an International Internship Program at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection for the past 40 years.

The program is designed for students in art, art history, or related disciplines, who are interested in gaining first-hand experience of how a museum is run and familiarity with an important collection of modern art.

The International Internship Program at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection started in 1980. International students who share a passion for art participate in the program each year.
